	Paradrop icon Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

How can one edit this? I am talking about that little white parachutte cursor that is used to select paradrop sites.

Nemo in Red front had used the paradrop function for the "Blitzkrieg" ability of certain German units. However he had not changed the icon.That led me to believe that either he didn't bother 'cause the Germans were to be controlled by the AI anyway, or that he hadn't found a way to do this.

The image is stored in one of the dll files in the civ2 folder. So so making the change and saving it in the scenario directory would not haveing any effect, the player would have to copy the file into the civ2 directory, something few would be willing to do.

You actually need a special program to modify the icons in Civ. One such is called IconEdit. I no longer have the URL for it, I'm afraid, but I'm sure there several out there. And William is right, you have to change the paratroop icon for the whole game, not just a particular scenario.

I'll send you the program Gifextractor Beta with the information you asked for. It's a very simple and very good program.

That wouldn't work, Stefan.

The Paratrooper icon is actually stored inside the Civ2 executable itself (along with all the other cursors Civ2 uses).

Well, I bet IconEdit (as techumseh said) or some other icon/resource editing programs, like Microangelo or ResHacker, could do it.

But in this case I don't think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
